The Sisterhood of the World Awards Tag was awarded to me by Tasha. Thank you Tasha!
The rules are fairly simple for this one:
1. Thank the blogger for the award given
2. Answer the ten questions given to you
3. Nominate a further 10 bloggers for this award
4. Write another 10 questions for those bloggers to answer
5. Display the award on your blog or in a post
1. What is your favourite gemstone?
Ooh, this is a difficult question! Long term, I've always been fascinated by opals- the way they can shine different colours of the rainbow! They are so pretty and I always feel sad when someone says, "But they're unlucky!" when I say I like them! They're super pretty!
Similarly, I love Labradorite- it also has a rainbowy shine and lustre to it! And moonstones.
So, basically, all the rainbowy gems!

2. If you had to spend the day as any historical figure, who would it be and why?
Tasha, these are HARD!!!!!!! I don't know,really don't know!!!! 3. Do you have a favourite genre of film, and if so, why?
I like lots of types of movies but I'm not sure I can classify a favourite!!! I like Costume dramas ALOT, but also some (non-gory) sci-fi but also the tame and gentle rom-coms!4. What was your favourite toy as a child?
Pinkie, my lovely, loppoly Panther who I blogged about. HE HAS GONE MISSING SINCE MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't find him anywhere and I fear he somehow got picked up with a charity bag and was culled (or deliberately by someone???). Very unhappy about this.
UPDATE: since I wrote this (ages ago). Pinkie was stuffed in with a duvet and a quilt (and bizarrely, the Joseph Joseph chopping board I had bought for my mother-in-law for her birthday and totally misplaced!!!)

5. What was the last book you read that you'd recommend to everyone?
Hmmm, good question. I think that Jolly Foul Play by Robin Stephens is brilliant but I think 'Hound of the Baskervilles' was BRILLIANT!

6. What was the best piece of advice you've ever been given.
1 Corinthians 15- Love is patient, love it kind. Need to live by this one a bit better!
And Rach texted me with a proverb, 'Above all, guard your heart for it is the well spring of life.'
7. Who would be your dream dinner guests and why?
I'd love to have my Grandparents back for dinner. If we were including famous people, I'd have loved to meet Robin Williams, I loved him. I'd also like to meet David Tennant too!!! The ultimate one is C.S. Lewis or Enid Blyton though or Dame Agatha Christie. C.S. Lewis because of his amazing works on Christian faith and Enid Blyton and Agatha because of my love for their books!

8. Do you prefer day or night?
Day, definitely! I am grumpy and tired at night!

9. If space travel became a possibility overnight, where would you go?
If we are talking REAL, then I am perfectly happy on Earth thank you, wouldn't really want to leave. If Doctor Who Space, then I would like to visit the 'Eye of Orion' the most peaceful and positive place in the Universe!10. And because I'm always interested to know this, if time travel were real, what time would you go to?
Ack, decisions again... I don't want to go anywhere scary- I'd go to the 50's!!!
My questions are going to be Tasha's too as I am lazy and I want other people to have to go through the indecision too.
I tag anyone with an A in their name!!
